BTW, you can get smart chargers for batteries that you already have. Smart chargers are the way to go -- faster, better, less hassle.
That's right, you don't want your NiMH battery to get much above body temperature when charging... a NiMH cell should be about 35-40 C (95-105 F) when fully charged. If charged far beyond that, the pressure and temperature will rise rapidly, and all kinds of bad things can happen.
